fbn, be there. you don't get it. >> demand it. hi, everyone. it's 5:00 in new york city and this is "the five." since obama care failed to launch, the administration's been the butt of ongoing late-night tv jokes. "saturday night live"'s been having a field day. >> a lot of folks have been talking about our new health care enrollment website, how it's been crashing and freezing and shutting down and stalling and not working and breaking and sucking. unfortunately, the site was only designed to handle six users at a time. so if you're in a rush, consider

using our low res website. with simpler fonts and graphics. >> people may be mocking it but it's not a joke to everyone. whether the president told the truth to americans about his health care law going back to the campaign. >> when he was trying to get the law passed, repeatedly said, if you currently have health insurance, you'll be able to keep your plan. this morning, david axelrod was pressed on that point and said the majority, the vast majority, would get to keep their plans. he no longer works at the white house. from that podium, will you admit when the president said, if you have a plan, you'll get to keep it, that was not true? >> it's true there are existing health care plans on the individual market that don't meet those minimum standards and therefore do not qualify for the affordable care act. >> greg, i want to talk about ridicule. when your policy or your campaign or your candidate becomes the target of ridicule

on "saturday night live," have you a huge problem on your hands? >> i don't really think so. i think -- i feel like the joke is on us for laughing. oh, finally, the cool kids are now seeing what all the dorks have been seeing for two years and we're supposed to be grateful for this one little, you know, colonel of satire. because there's no lesson to be gained from this humor. these actors who are playing these roles will still go and vote for big government and wealth transfer. they're still the slave to emotion. it's not going to change anything. they're going to go back and make fun of 90% of the time republicans. the fact is, we needed, what america needed was catastrophic health care and we got catastrophic health care. >> with the catastrophic rollout. >> to me, kimberly, you were laughing when we were rolling that because in a way it's like good to laugh about it and maybe it's a little bit of a relief to say, well, we told you so.

>> finally a little bit of reality. somebody took off the rose colored glasses and realized there's problems, there's flaws, there's rule issues to be dealt with and a fraud has been done against the american people. thank you, "saturday night live," for being honest. you've got something here that is real. i thought it was a very funny impression. >> if you take the line that president obama repeated, which is if you like your health care plan, if you like your doctor, you can keep it. when that turns out for most people to be not true, do you think that -- does that undermine the entire law or do you think they can turn this around? they say it will be working by november 30th. >> that's just one of the things that aren't true about the obama care law. the most important to me was they promised it was going to be $890 billion. it's now up to $1.8 trillion. if this continues, if people, a, can't sign up, or, b, don't want to sign up because it's too

expensive, we're seeing that. young people say it's just cheaper for me to take this tax. think about that for a second. if that continues at this pace it could be a $3 trillion or $4 trillion expense to the american people. he said you can keep your interest. they lied about so many things. to get this thing passed. from top to bottom. they talked about abortion not being in it originally. they even got one congressman to sign on, promising him abortion wasn't going to be in it. >> stupek. >> right, top to bottom, they've lied about it. talk about this for one second. when you realize how much this is going to cost them, they'll have to do one of two things. either tax the hell out of it and give the irs, they're going to have to muscle them up. right now, the irs can't garnish your wages. you just have to hope these people pay their taxes. or they're going to have to turn around and say every taxpayer in america is going to have to pick

up the tab. >> that's what's going to happen because they don't have enough money in the till to balance it out. now you've got young people that are going to be uninsured, angry and penalized by the federal government. people are not better off. worse off. you don't need to be a gene justice to figure that out. it's going to be a problem. now we need to get bob in here. but in order to soften the runway a little bit, i want to play this sound from diane barrett who was on "cbs this morning" and get your reaction. not a crazy republican, somebody who got a letter in the mail. >> when i got this bill, i was outraged. >> that includes 56-year-old diane. last month, she received a letter from blue cross blue shield informing her as of january 2014 she would lose her current plan. barrett pays $54 a month. the new plan she's being offered would run $591 a month, ten

times more than what she currently pays. >> what i have right now is what i'm happy with. i just want to know why i can't keep what i have. why do i have to be forced into something else? >> okay, so bob, when you start to have people that are coming out, it's not a congressman, right wing or from anywhere, this is an actual person who is doing -- >> bob's going to laugh. >> it's not a congressman, it's a real person. >> that's right, it's a real person with real feelings. >> if i could just respond to all you dorks. >> who's the dork, all of us? >> greg said we were the cool people and you guys were the dorks. look, i said i think you should delay this to get some of the problems out of it. i don't believe for a moment. that woman said it went up ten times. she was offered a range of plans. the insurance companies are raising rates right now. and they're delivering nothing. so what's going on here? is the insurance company using the excuse of january 1 to jack

up people's rates so they can profit gouge? >> you know what happened? bob read the e-mails we passed back and forth across the weekend. because he's like, wait for it, within 36 hours, they're going to be going, demonizing the big insurance companies. it's all their fault. that's where you got that idea. >> i didn't get it from that because i don't read your e-mails. >> when they said you like your doctor and you can keep them and if you don't, you should say you hate your doctor and you hate your doctor so much, then obama will say, you know what, you can keep him. all the lies, what obama care, exactly what a guy does to get a girl in bed. i love to meet your parents. i love children. then afterwards -- >> i love dogs. >> after, all that stuff is gone. it's like, i really can't be bothered. >> i've heard that. >> i bet you have. >> can i say, the genius of progressive socialism, fitting,

by the way, this is halloween. because it's about a costume. it's about intrusion disguised as concern. that's what we're talking about here. progressive socialism invents and cloaks new ways of confiscation. taking from people to pay for other people. >> so this is socialism now? >> of course it is. >> let me explain -- >> it might be socialism if we did what i wanted to do instead of singer payer. you're not answering this because you're all out here -- in eric's case, probably will be prostituting for the insurance companies. explain to me why the insurance companies are charging this kind of money. >> do you think all these new things are free? in what fantasy world do you live in that you can -- >> january 1 -- >> but that's when the rates go up is january 1. >> a lot of these people are being charged these rates right now. >> it's october 28th -- >> no, you're signing up now for

your -- for your premium january 1. >> this woman said -- >> right, if you get on -- >> no, she's from california. >> point something out, dana, i spent -- okay, this obama care website goes down. it crashed on sunday. i went back on today. i got another error. there's my error message. i got that one today. when i got back on, i started to renew the process i started on friday. 40 minutes. i got two steps out of a five-step process to enroll. i didn't get near to enrolling. there is no way, there is no way they're going to fix this system any time soon. it's not going to be two or three weeks. it's going to be months. by the way, who's fixing it? who's paying for that fix? it should be the same people who came up with this garbage system. >> but there's no chance they're going to fix it. they have to scrap all of the code in its entirety. you can't just apply bad code on --

>> i'm sure everybody sat up there, said, let's figure out a way to screw people as badly as we can -- >> -- say, listen -- >> if you listen to the head of the insurance in florida, they said they'll offer a lot of plans and they're going to be cheaper for a lot of people. blue cross blue shield of florida -- >> what you're telling me, blue cross -- >> that's good, i would welcome blue cross blue shield, aetna, aflac, to come out and -- >> this guy predicted the most ever people in this country who would have an increase -- research. >> i have to -- i'm mandated to buy something. that's unconstitutional. >> the point is there should be competition and the ability -- >> there's -- >> bob, let me -- there should be the choice to look around and say, i want to get the best choice for my family -- >> i can't.

>> you don't live in florida. >> so now you got to move to florida to get the blue shield cheaper insurance. >> it's just one example in florida. >> there's two lessons here for young people. whenever you are encountered by charm and celebrity to sell something, you're going to get screwed. because the people getting screwed right now are the young people when you look at the spread of premiums. they're the ones getting screwed. and all they did was listen -- if you hear scar jo, say no. that's what you remember. >> scarlett johansson. >> thank you. >> great lesson, you will always pay more for less. that is a crime. it's immoral, bob. when you have something and all of a sudden, they're saying, we're going to give you less and take more, that's wealth transfer, that's a crime. >> here's a crime, one of those young guys goes down in extreme snow boarding and gets quadriplegic and we have to pay for the son of a bitch because he wouldn't get insurance -- >> bob -- >> the most ridiculous example.

if he has no insurance and he's snow boarding, he is a son of a whatever you want -- >> i'm about to name a bad word. >> -- they end up having to have open heart surgery, should which end up having to pay for that? >> i pay for it might. every dime of it. >> i'm going to call bs. >> anyone else going to call -- >> -- little insurance, not much little. >> but we're paying for it now. >> we're all paying for bob. >> yes, we are, we pay for the premiums. all of this stuff is not free. and they weren't honest. what she wanted, bob, was to keep her same plan, which is what president obama promised. that is not going to be possible under this. >> -- because of you, to give you that nasty chest situation -- >> you should have used -- never mind. >> the premium spread was supposed to be 1 to 6. an older person pays six times as much. that means more young people are

paying for you. >> the kid who goes snow boarding -- >> that's a stupid question. >> why? >> because you're taking -- >> it's no more stupid than what you just said. >> no, because that's the only way young people get hurt. they are young. it's rare. it's catastrophic. have catastrophic health care. not catastrophic health care. >> also, those people can be on their parent's health insurance under the law. >> his answer -- >> you have a good point. >> catastrophic health care. that's all you need. >> people do opt to do that. because they said they're generally healthy. in case of a huge accident -- >> i don't think i've taken a breath. >> you guys don't want catastrophic health care. >> i do, i like it. >> you want single pay? >> catastrophic. >> all right. >> obama care is catastrophic but it's not catastrophic health care. >> i know, i've heard you use that line. >> i'll keep saying it and saying it. >> let's get out of here. >> i haven't breathed in three minutes. >> we're going to move on. the white house taking heat from

new spying details reveal the nsa has tapped the phones of up to 35 world leaders. the question become, do the benefits of surveillance outweigh the risk of damaging relations with our international partners? let a let's listen to robert gibbs and peter king offer their competing views. >> i think clearly damage has been done. i think we have to evaluate whether the costs of it is method of gathering some intelligence greatly exceeds the

benefit of that intelligence, particularly when we're listening in to apparently some of our very closest allies. >> i think the president should stop apologizing, stop being defensive. the reality is the nsa has saved thousands of lives. in france and germany and throughout europe. we're not doing this for the fun of it. this is to gather valuable intelligence which helps not just us but also helps the europeans. >> you begged me to go first. >> did you have to say that? >> yes. >> okay. i'm going to just say, my experience, i was in the white house, we were doing this back in the 70s and 80s. this is nothing new. they do it to us. particularly the french. i don't care -- you should spy on the french in their bedroom as far as i'm concerned. >> why, you want to learn something? >> you're ruining my -- >> they spy on us. we spy. this is a game -- i mean, it's not a game, it's serious stuff. if you listen in, you got to listen in to the exchanges going

back to some government people. it's as simple as that. they're doing it to us. >> so now you're okay with it? >> of course. >> you've got to understand what he's distinguishing. he's talking about -- this is what spying is for. i mean, you spy on big wigs. and by the way, 35 world leaders, most of them suck -- >> angela merkel's -- >> she's good. spying is the price you pay for becoming an adult in the free world. it's what you do. >> thank you, gregory. >> okay, bolling, let's get your take. >> i agree we should be spying on other people, foreigner, not americans. the nsa says obama didn't know about this. we're supposed to believe he didn't know about the nsa until he heard -- the spying on merkel until he heard about it on the news? fast and furious, journalists being subpoenaed, consulate, irs -- >> no, he's being all

inclusive -- >> so here's the point -- but, on the other hand, if they've data mined billions upon billions of phone calls, so anything good that happens, president obama takes credit for. anything that's bad that happens, he says, i didn't know about it, no one told me about deputy director of the cia saying snowden is a trader. see if you change your opinion about what he did. was he a whistleblower, was he a trader? listen. >> i do not believe he is a whistleblower. i do not believe he is a hero. i think he betrayed his country. >> how serious a hit to national security? >> i think this is the most serious leak. the most serious compromise of classified information. >> because of the amount of it or the type? >> the amount and the type. >> you have to understand, because snowden is the guy that put us in this position is what the intelligence officials are saying. that he is the source of this information that is manying forward that has become, now, an

embarrassment to the united states. so i ask you out there and i ask the people at this table, do you still share the same opinion of snowden that you did in the beginning? >> i do. this is my guy you said? this is what you said? democrat? >> he's a career civil servant who was president obama's choice for the cia. >> to call this the greatest breach of u.s. security is so far out of bounds that i don't care who he is, i mean, i could give you a lot of ones. you think -- >> what about snowden? i'm asking you about snowden. >> i think snowden should be brought back to this country, he should be tried. he made the biggest hole in u.s. national security like this guy said -- >> okay, but he needs to be tried for what, go ahead. >> i think he should be brought back to the united states as well and hired to fix the obama care website. >> that's good. >> oh, my goodness. your opinion on him has not changed. you still think --

>> the guy broke open one of the biggest stories of all time. what the government is doing. breaking the law. violating our constitution. >> my opinion has not changed. >> which is it? >> i need additional facts. i said from the beginning i thought what he did is wrong. >> you called him a trader? >> i have to look under the law. that's a serious allegation. >> i don't see what the argument is for snowden leaking stuff that -- the international information, other than it's for his own ego. julian assange, he did a lot of this for his own ego, he wanted to be famous. i believe snowden is a rat fink. >> so your position of it has remained the same. i think as i said from the beginning, there is a question as to whether or not -- yes, he is a trader because there are criminal allegations and charges here. i don't know why he specifically leaked stuff about us spying on other countries. i don't think that helped us whatsoever or the u.s. position

in international communities. let's just say he was in germany and he found out that the germans were spying on the united states, would he be so offended? >> i have no idea but the idea that people don't know that we were listening -- >> -- protected by the constitution, what the nsa was doing was a violation -- >> you have a problem with what he -- >> -- not spying on american, on international foreign leaders? got to go. mama's got to paul the rip cord. al qaeda link to the 9/11 attack on our consulate in benghazi. it directly contradicts what we were initially told by the white house. details are straight ahead. check out our new website at foxnews.com/thefive.

last night, "60 minutes" revealed the terrorist attack in benghazi was a planned sophisticated operation run by al qaeda. wow who knew? this is called breaking news to people who can't find fnc on their remotes. >> al qaeda has stated their intent in an online posting, saying they would attack the red cross, the british and then the americans in benghazi. >> and you watched as they -- >> as they attacked. >> and the british mission, and the only ones left -- >> were us. they made good on two out of the three promises. it was a matter of time until they captured the third one. >> and washington was aware of that? >> they knew we monitored it. they knew we included that in our reports to both state department and dod. i made it known in a meeting.

you are going to get attacked. you are going to get attacked in benghazi. it's going to happen. >> while it's a relief to see cbs wake up, you got to remember if it took so long and if it matters at this point. it matters because they're still free. also because the administration and its fawning media are still immune to scrutiny. the benghazi tale's a textbook lesson. on bias. how it works. bip yas wo bias works by ignoring a harmful story so people are protected. who does that benefit? the white house of course. the result, obama care is here, as is the ideological engine that powers it. taking the rest of us with it. it is the bus that so many get thrown under. including four americans who died on september 11th. to the media scum who mock such concern, americans who lose their health insurance or their lives are simply speed bumps on

the road to the greater good. at a car wreck, a cop would tell gawkers, there's nothing to see here, move on. that's now the official white house motto. >> wow. i like that. >> thank you, kimberly. >> what are you doing later? >> very little, busy. >> very little mentioned in "the 60 minutes," president obama, very little mentioned of hillary clinton. almost like they're saying this is a horrible thing that happened. >> it's like they've been sprayed with pam and nothing sticks to them and they just slide right off, like an invisible shield of protection. nothing is directly attributed to them. i'm glad "60 minutes" did this story. i didn't learn anything new because we've been saying this for months and months and months and months. maybe finally everyone else is going to catch up, get up to speed on this and maybe we'll get some answers. it's still, to me, one of the most embarrassing things to this

country, country, the way these people were treated. >> you asked the question, agree. the only problem, it shouldn't be the media's job. it should be coming from congress. so what took so long? what's taking so long for john boehner to create a select committee to go and ask these questions instead of lara logan? and maybe you put 14 or so republican congressman on it, in the room, and put ten democrats in there, ask the right questions. now, the whisper is -- >> no, you didn't. issa had his own committee. the whisper in the d.c. hallways is congress people want that and boehner doesn't want to give it to them. the question is, does he know things? was he made aware? there's some who believe he was made aware of weapons moving from the u.s. from libya to syria. >> issa wants a select committee? >> yes, issa wants a select committee.

maybe it's time. speaker boehner. >> what do they got to learn? they've done 24 committee hearings already. what more do they need? >> no, people who won't lie -- >> select committee would get to the answers. >> cbs, which is a dog network, which don't ever believe in because they're all part of the establishment media, which greg befouls all the time. now they're great people and we're take the word of one guy on one report on one intercept? >> a, he was there apparently. >> apparently. >> cbs. what was it a year ago, when th interviewed president obama and withheld a portion of the interview that might have contradicted what he said when it was the fault of the video but then it was premeditated? they left that part out. that's why it's a problem. because they purposely held something back. now they've got their guy in. it doesn't matter. dana, you get the last word. >> what we don't know is how

hard lara logan had to fight with cbs in order to get a lead feature on "60 minutes" over a year after benghazi happened. commendable. interesting nobody seemed to mention that the white house blamed a video for the whole thing. very chilling. >> ahead on "the five ," is it okay for teachers to spank kids in school? bob thinks so. >> of course. >> stay tuned for that.

all right. welcome back, everybody. a couple of quick stories. on the east coast, philly, known

for cheese steaks and the birthplace of our freedom. as well as the first and second continental congress. now add socialism to the list. a well-known columnist wrote a book about the joys of socialism. get this, the philly city council just passed a resolution to incorporate his teachings into the curriculum of the philly public schools k through 12. times are changing in philly. >> anti-americanism does not thrive because it is correct, it thrives because it is cool. this stuff will always be seen as cool in academic circles. even if 99% of people don't read it. the good thing is kids rebel. if you give a kid -- if you go to a catholic school, a lot of kids become atheists. if you give kids fr s this mate they'll come out as free market

maniacs. >> that happened to stuart varn varney. he said he started as a c communist and became a raging capitalist. >> varney was a communist? >> i can't wait -- >> we're not strong enough to allow a book on communism in class? what, are you kidding me? that's going to change everybody be? i don't care if it's a public school or not. if you can't learn two sides to thing -- >> this guy, correct me if i'm wrong, he's been known to kind of plagiarize or change history as well too, right? >> he's not an actual historian. >> he takes the point of view that in either historical moment, america is the evildoer. >> former governor of indiana, mitch daniels, he prevented this book from being taught in their schools. >> this guy is not historically accurate. he's just preaching socialism. i don't see the whole point of it being in public schools.

>> now, on the west coast, cheerleaders for lincoln high school in san jose wanted to raise money for a trip. they decided a car wash would be fun. until the san jose department of environmental services paid the cheerleaders a visit. turns out, they were denied the permit to watch a few cars. apparently the car wash was violating a discharge law. cheerleaders, car washes. >> i know it sounds terrible but it reads well for us here. you know what i mean. a law is a law is a law. you don't like the law, change the law. you're supposed to let cheerleader goes because they're good looking? >> you would. >> well -- >> un-american, bob. cheerleaders. car wash. high school. this is an eighth graders fantasy. >> i would rent a car at 14 -- >> your big wheel. >> yes, i would take my big wheel. >> this is sad. i mean, come on, kids are doing car washes all the time. it's just like lemonade stand.

give me a break. what country is this? bob, you're on the wrong side of this. i want you to get over here. >> i sit on this side, i'm happy. >> there are certain laups th l that you happily violate. >> regularly. >> cheerleader's faces -- >> no. >> because we'd probably get sued if we put their faces up. >> or maybe it's the water that's blurring their faces. >> no, they're like underage. >> whatever, i've been to car washes. all kinds of groups do them. boy scouts, cheerleaders. >> there's movies about cheerleaders doing car washes. >> all right, bob. >> we should enforce car washing across america and we should have car insurance, car washing insurance. >> if you like your car wash, you can keep it. >> car wash -- >> are you okay with your teacher spanking your kids? bob says you should be. before we go, want to take a second to recognize an american icon in music, rock legend lureed dead at 71.

test

are you okay with corporal punishment in your child's school? some people in public schools in 19 states still use paddles to discipline students when they're misbehaving. there's a new report out now. paddling more than 16,000 times last year alone. >> bob, do you think that's an appropriate accent? >> that's what they told me to say. >> you told him to talk like that? >> my sophomore year of high school, we were up stairs. a gym teacher goes out of the room. a kid goes running. i pulled the mat out from under him. a teacher happened to walk by. he said, take your wallet out. grab your ankles. bam, paddle. i saw stars. i saw stars for an an hour. and i will tell you i was the perfect student for two and a

half more years of high school. at least in jim class. >> so you're saying we should spank bob. >> i would allow them to paddle my son. >> oh, really? >> absolutely. i'm delighted you said. i had the same experience in biology class where the biology did it because i put coca-cola in some girl's and he got mad about it. they hurt. >> hurt like hell. >> i remembered it. i didn't mess with that girl after that. >> how many other bad things did you do for like the next 40 years? >> hardly anything. >> please. let me tell you something -- >> do you paddle? >> no. >> why do you have to think so hard? >> what i'm saying is i have never been spanked for disciplinary reasons. >> i bet that's true. >> that's my maury povich.

>> greg, how about you? >> i don't think i was ever spanked at school. i believe, you know, fear derives from, you know, asserting authority. and i think a good teacher can do that without spanking by using her voice. i remember when i got in trouble at school, i wanted to get back in good graces with the teacher. when the teacher made you feel bad and i think good teachers could make you feel bad about yourself. and you want to be better. and i think you can do that without it. i've never seen a dunce cap in my life. >> you want to bring that back? >> yeah. but add spanking at the workplace. >> oh, my god. >> let's add spanking at the workplace. >> let's not. >> seriously, you shouldn't spank children at school. >> never get in trouble at school and get straight as. >> they must not have allowed spanking. >> why did you say that? >> jasper doesn't get spanked. >> come on. >> i think greg has a good point about dis -- if i disappoint somebody that's expecting more

from me, that is punishment enough for me. >> really? >> i believe that. that's true. psychological profile. >> i'll put myself in the corner, i'll cry, still thinking about things happened years ago. >> i don't think children should be spanked at school. i really don't. if somebody spanked my baby at school, i'm going to go spank them. it's not appropriate. >> you have to sign a waiver. >> yeah, my point is i do not think that it is appropriate to use corporal punishment against children. teach better and use other behavior management strategies to get the desired outcome or change the way they're acting in school. even bob can be helped. >> you have a waiver enforced at your house.
